Quantifying SCA’s carbon footprint• 4,000,000 miles flown on Milne tickets in 2008 (staff and
members). This doesn’t include tickets purchased outside of Milne, nor staff and member vehicle travel.– We have since changed companies and now require all SCA to
make travel plans through this company. It will be much easier to track our staff travel next year!
• We’ll be spending 2009 calculating SCA’s baseline carbon footprint in the following areas:
• Travel by plane• All types of vehicle travel by staff and members
(including commuting)• Heating and cooling• Electricity consumption• Paper consumption
